JohnThanks guys, you all rock and I may get perilously close to shock, but all my posts come from an honest place where sometimes erroneous opinions live!?
I now am back on ADSL with speeds much reduced from the 11Mbps I had with the FTTC that BT screwed up by installing a new cabinet, then neglecting to carry out Fibre capacity needed for a large village which is rapidly getting larger. Then completely cutting lines to several homes, including my own: ?
The situation regrading servicemen serving in N.I. is very close to my heart and my own time there, from the early ’69 start to my last tour. I cannot say much more, because the barstewards are currently close to breathing upon my own neck, according to an old contact, who uses no electronic means of contact. This government needs to do something legal and definite, instead of using weasel media words which are easily denied later. We talked the talk and walked the walk in defence of a part of the UK, whilst taking action under Active Service conditions, but never being paid Active Service pay. Governments sent us there and continued to move the goalposts while we were served, almost monthly. Successive governments continue to change the positions of those goalposts. Meanwhile, the real criminals were freed by the worst PM of modern times, with an eye on pleasing the USA and wishing to improve his CV by adding “Peacemaker” to his accomplishments. Incidentally, those of us with several Tours accomplished, did not suffer from PTSD, apart from a small minority who had no label for it then and suffered silently. I have no anti-PC beef against PTSD, know it is genuine, but also genuinely know that some claim it falsely.
The people making the most of this situation, are the liberal do-gooders masquerading as lawyers. They don’t give a damn about us oldpharts who mostly tried to do our best in a broken, impossible part of the UK, which was then and is still: a part of the UK. For those of us always faced with the plea from the South, “Give us back our Six Counties” – Have ’em! You will want to hand it back within weeks, because your Security Forces won’t be able to handle it, even to the precarious level of public ‘safety’ that ours managed to achieve.
There I must step off my Soapbox until the next Rant.???
Health continues to improve, weight and BMI stabilised and actually replaced 2.2 Kg over last 2 weeks. Chemo still makes me ill after a couple of days, but feeling better atm. Weather here in East Lindsey unbelievably good for October, but freezing returns at weekend apparently. Here are some pic’s from last week.
This is me and the defender of our kitchen window, fattening up on the bugs which try to enter:
Taken from outside, hence reflections upon myself and shirt. Additional facial hair is down to shaving accident and Chemo causing bleeding to resist stopping. Now I like it, so does daughter and family, SWMBO outvoted.??
Huge bee on bungalow front wall was a suspected Queen, so I drove it away without harming it. Keeping the Guard Spider though, hoping she hibernates in the fascia for next year.
Good luck and Good health to all!
